Amazon tried to profit off the latest Bernie meme. Here's what Bernie thinks of Amazon.

When attempting to co-opt a meme, it's perhaps best to first make sure the focus of said meme doesn't absolutely despise you. Or, you could take the Amazon approach. 

On Friday morning, the Amazon Pay Twitter account attempted to get in on the two-day old meme of Senator Bernie Sanders sitting alone at the inauguration of now-president Joe Biden. Someone at the company, for some reason, apparently thought a picture of the senator sitting next to the text "How to register for Amazon Pay" was just the thing to get people excited about Amazon Pay.  

"It's that easy," reads the buck-wild tweet which, perhaps unsurprisingly, was deleted just before 4 p.m. PST. "Thanks #BernieSandersMittens" Read more...

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
